Oh I know. We bought a box so I could use it as my candy bag and I've had a couple bowls with and without milk.

Robin Williams was amaaaaazing. For like an hour and a half almost he just went on and on with no interruptions. A lot of his stuff was about alcohol and drugs and porn, but his creation of man schpeal was the best.
